Panorama Necto

Rating: 9 out of 10

March 15, 2016

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a small IT company that was looking for a BI tool in order to eliminate the usage of Excel as the reporting tool in our organization. For a company having business users and decision makers in different time zones and different offices, Panorama Necto provided a great solution.

Pros

The Social collaboration built in Necto helped with interactions among business users while viewing a single work board. The work boards are collaborative, dynamic and suggestive. The recommendation engine is the most interesting piece as it suggests relevant work boards based on a user's usage.
The work boards are a great way to provide the management a clear, concise, one source of truth and progress of business in one snapshot. The drill down capabilities allow the business users to analyze and gain insights. It lets business users spend more time on analyzing data rather than collecting and creating reports.
The feature to find people and chat with the concerned user right from the report window adds a great value and reduces the pain of emails going back and forth among users.

Cons

Necto should allow support of multiple languages as this has been the major issue we have came across as we have offices in various South American countries.

Likelihood to Recommend

Getting the business users trained and getting on board was easy as the interface is intuitive and easy to learn and manage.

I'm currently using Panorama Necto for a regional sales dashboard for the sales department and I find it very mature for data discovery. It's one of the [best] BI tools I have ever used for data discovery. The tool is very easy to use, with a simple click, you can import data from multiple sources and build visualizations. It's very intuitive and very good for interactive analytics. It also has an excellent in memory performance. It will rapidly be adopted by the whole organization.

Pros

It help builds very intuitive and interactive analytics. It has excellent in memory performance and retursn results with clicks.
Highly visual and understandable infographic format. The things l like most is that it supports a variety of charts; you can create amore meaningful charts radar, donought, pareoto, scatter, range, point, etc.
It has excellent social and collaboration capabilities.

Cons

Panorama Necto does not have support for Linux or commodity hardware.
The big data technology support is very limited.
I would also appreciate if there was a personal edition that I could install on Windows home edition for my client to access the product.

Likelihood to Recommend

Panorama Necto is very well suited for building an interactive dashboard. It makes it very easy to do a forecasting operation with data analytics. The decision becomes very simple while minimizing dependency on IT for data discovery. Panorama Necto can help replace costly BI tools and bring down the licensing cost and make the tool available to more users. During the selection process, it is important to know about publishing and scheduling.

One of the best self service BI tools in the market

Rating: 10 out of 10

August 14, 2015

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

One of the best tools in the market available today. I started getting attached to this tool recently and this never stops amazing me. I can connect to a variety of data sources and quickly analyze my data. The best part of this product is the built-in intelligence system which understands the data and the Meta data while they are being fed to the tool, on the fly. I used this tool to create some test result reports.

Pros

Comes with lot of option to modify and build the smart infographic. Uses innovative pictures and charts to create the dashboards
Helps you identify why you are succeeding and where you should shift your focus to.
The maps are amazing and they just don’t act as control points rather you can populate various measures on them making it really efficient to understand the business in geographical info graph

Cons

Need to have good data connectors and efficient approach to handle bigdata somehow.

All in all it is a great tool. Fits well in all scenarios

Next Gen BI Tool – Best in Class Data Discovery and Virtualization

Rating: 9 out of 10

August 10, 2015

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Panorama helped one of my clients replace a costly BI tool; bring down the licensing costs and make the tool available to more users globally. It has eye catching infographics, an image bank, numerous chart options and functionality for slicing and dicing. It also has an amazing recommendation engine which can give more insights to users.

Pros

The tool is extremely easy to use, you can import data and create the visualizations with a click.
We were able to build a collaborative business intelligence solution, we replaced clients existing process of predictive analysis and forecasting, and provided a solution based on Necto with a lot ease.
It is more inclined towards the end-user with easy to use options and is not much of a developer centric tool.
Gives IT more power to govern and manage the platform with ease, on the other hand it is equally powerful for business users.

Cons

The thing which I was expecting and is not available as of now was a personal edition for installation on Windows home edition that can come handy when practicing and training other users; I hope they plan to provide that to us soon.
Second thing is the limited support for big data analytics, this again is not very critical at the moment but it is a good to have functionality, and soon once the users are familiar with the basic analysis they will start looking for options like big data analytics etc.
No support for Linux or commodity hardware.

Likelihood to Recommend

Panorama can help medium and small business replace costly BI tools and bring down the licensing cost and make tool available to more users. It will not be suitable for a company looking for big data analytics.

Self Service BI Tool

Rating: 9 out of 10

August 4, 2015

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization is currently using different types of reporting tools along with Informatica. We are using MSTR, and Lumira. Currently Softfire is under testing and I've been testing Necto to check the capabilities of the tool. We are trying to look at some of the partner attributes based on LOB with respect to regions.

Pros

Fast and easy to deploy
Infographics
Scalable environment

Cons

Single platform
Single langugae compatability
Does not offer option for Blackberry and OSX

Likelihood to Recommend

With Panoroma Necto, we have cool infographics built in which makes for an easier and a beautiful way to present the graphs or the reports to the end users. Necto does not actually need heavy coding or a need to understand loads of codes to create a graph. Using many inbuilt features we can present the report to the user and it is user friendly.

One of its kin of tool, A sure value for venture

Rating: 9 out of 10

August 3, 2015

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's simply a great tool to serve all the needs for self-serve data analysis requirements. It is simple to create, share and collaborate. It has all the aspects of a great BI tool bundled in one product. After working on several data visualization tools and BI platforms, it was hard to believe that data can be visualized so easily and so efficiently. The time taken was simply a few minutes. If you have your data organized and cleaned, this tool helps you to analyze your highlights and lowlights of business in just 30 minutes or even less. I loved the way that the entire development was based on smart drag/drop modification of data. The infographics are really amazing and there are enough of these infographics to address various scenario based analytical requirements. Using color encoding on measures and dimension was never so easier and it makes the work boards tell the story of the business. The best part was that it connects to a pool of different data sources and has all necessary data connection driver already embedded. Hence no need to worry about creating customized drivers and connection strings.

A very good tool and a must to watch out how this evolves in next few years.

Pros

Comes with lot of options to modify and build the smart infographic. Uses innovative pictures and charts to create the dashboards
Creates basic data arrangements easily without waiting for the users to instruct. For an example, given a date field it creates a calendar hierarchy by default.
Understands the nature of data and the metadata really well. Treats the data on the fly and creates smart visualizations.
Connects to any data (most backend packages as per industry standards)
It has smart computing abilities to deliver some of the complex analytical requirements such as what-if analysis, pinpointing the actual issues and side by side comparison of business factors.

Cons

Need more data manipulation and customized data modelling abilities

Likelihood to Recommend

Have not tested it on rigorous scenario based fitment models.

July 29, 2015

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We mainly used Panorama Necto for self service data discovery for our customer insight team. It helped us reduce dependencies on the reporting team to produce various ad hoc reports and stats for us. We could get all stats ourselves and also slice and dice the data as per need.

It is very easy to use, one can learn the tool with basic training and with a click you can import data and create the visualizations.
Eye catching info graphics, image bank, numerous chart options and functionality for slicing and dicing
Collaboration - share work boards with colleagues, discuss/comments/annotations
Good Performance

Cons

More community support
Publishing and scheduling is a bit complicated
No support for Linux or commodity hardware

Likelihood to Recommend

Enquire about the level of support and whether they are giving dedicated access to a consultant for the initial months.
